Bakery & Restaurant Koo

“ 色即是空　空即是色 ”

Living in a world of abundance and overflowing with the goods,
haven’t you forgotten that we are living with nature?

What has form will eventually lose its form, and what has no form will turn into what has form.
Ingredients we use are the results of what producers have coexisted with nature:
formless things that seem to have a shape but are always changing.

And that is the seasons, smells, and colors.
What is the real form of happiness?
Can we seek the answer to this in the restaurant?

We would like to make here the place where our challenge and gratitude can take shape.

Encounters with people is the form which is from what had no form.
Encounters with ingredients is also the form which is from what had no form.

The dishes which came from the miracle of an encounter with each person and each ingredient.
The dishes which make people happy at the moment, in the seasons.
There is a form but will be formless after it creates happiness for people.

Enjoying the sky, wind, stars, and fire here in Karuizawa.
The most luxurious time you can only feel in this place.
We will be happy if everyone feels the extraordinary moment like a real feast.
